“WarnerBrosDiscovery's (WBD) streaming service Max is now a TV” This is because it was equipped with a live CNN channel’ CNNMax’ on Sep 25, 2023, and began streaming sports games on October 5. However, there is a company who felt uncomfortable about becoming Max TV. It is the pay-TV industry.  CNN initially transmitted the Live channel in a way that bypassed the transaction, conscious of the transaction with the pay-TV industry .

Live channel feed from CNN International is included in streaming(Not Local CNN).  However, Pay TV  has blocked CNN's advance in streaming. Earlier this week, DirecTV sent a letter to WBD in which it argued that the programming on CNN Max risked violating their contract agreement. presumably Cable TV(Charter and Cox) have similar questions. In any event, the shift to streaming is fundamentally altering how programming companies and carriers work together.

But WBD streaming chief J.B. Perrette told pucknews that this is very compliant and within the parameters of what we’re allowed to do. Jun Park, CEO of New ID, FAST platform also told me, "Streaming news does not destroy the existing market, but reaches to new audience" It may be surprising, but no one in Korea has claimed that it is a breach of contract for shifting live cable channels to streaming services without consent . This is why cable TV has become difficult in South Korea.
